Chunky_Monkey Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi everyone! Over the past few weeks or so, my Wyandotte, Guinevere, has taken to pecking at my other chickens' backs. I have tried to discourage her from doing it, but I can't watch her all day constantly. It's getting to the point where I'm wondering whether to isolate her in my spare eglu and run or get a bumper bit, but I'm not sure which would be more effective. Any ideas? A few of my other girls are starting to get bald patches down their backs now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 My vote is with bumper bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Have you tried squirting the other girls with AntiPeck spray? That may discourage her before going down the bumper bit route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky_Monkey Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks for the advice! I have just ordered some anti pecking spray from the omlet shop so hopefully that should do the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I would say anti-peck spray, followed by squirting with a water squirter and anti-peck spray, then a bumper bit, then isolation, and if it comes to it, sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
